I feel so terrible for not blogging more often. I will try to do better. Life has just been so crazy. I find working and home life a balancing act. I give so much credit to the full time working moms....they are amazing. I think because Jon is a shift worker I have to do a lot on my own so I feel like I hardly ever have time to just sit and blog. Anyways....
Things are good here. The kids have been great. Everyone has been healthy and things have been going well. Benjamin and I went on our first official play date a few weeks ago which was nice. Getting out and playing with other kids doesn't happen much in the winter (besides our cousins) so its nice to start getting out and seeing our friends. I'm so looking forward to more playdates. Benjamin is getting to such a fun age now, where he's starting to interact a bit with other kids which is cute to watch. We have managed to avoid doctors and specialist for quite a while, but in the next couple months we'll have a few more appointments again. Benjamin goes to developmental follow-up on the 11th for his 18mth (corrected) check up. I'm looking forward to that as I'm curious to see their view on his speech development. He's picking up more words every day...now saying things like dog..which comes out daw and bus which comes out bu..but he's definitely trying. I have a feeling they might recommend us for speech therapy, but that's ok with me.  He's also started singing, which is the cutest thing ever.  His favorite song right now seems to be twinkle twinkle little star.   My biggest anxiety is around his eye appointment in June. This will be the appointment that the doctor will decide if Benjamin needs glasses.. He seems to see fine, but at this age who knows.

Anyways we've been planning our holidays for the spring/summer and we are super excited that we are going to Jamaica. We're going with some of Jon's family which will be so much fun. The girls are so pumped to be going on plane. I have a little anxiety about travelling with Benjamin, but I think he'll be ok....Its going to be a blast. We're also planning to do some camping with my cousins and sisters and well as take the girls to see the falls. We haven't taken them to Niagara yet, so that should be fun. Benjamin is still at the age where he's a little difficult so I think for that day we'll find a sitter. Exciting things are happening and we have been enjoying life to the fullest. We are so incredibly blessed. Not a day goes by that we don't thank God for our family.
